We purchased this futon for our office with the hope of turning it into an extra guest bedroom when guest come into town. Assembly was acceptable; there are several boxes so it helps to have a lot of room to help organize the pieces and tools. My husband and I were able to assemble and set the room up in under an hour. The mattress is a bit stiff, but it looks good in the room. Not all the pieces are solid wood, perhaps some are, but many of them are particle board with the wood finish. But the piece is quite sturdy despite this. My only complaint is that the color of the wood (butternut) was lighter than I expected. The actual color looked closer to the Natural than the butternut in the photo online. But the boxes were definitely labeled butternut. Overall, it is sturdy and comfortable enough for watching TV.


Pros: Good price, sturdy, somewhat easy assembly
Cons: Color of frame was not what I was expecting
